Its been awhile....For over three years I collected and shared an exclusive B&W circle. This circle "was" one of the most shared on G+ for awhile. I would share it once a month with everyone as a part of my personal desire to share more quality B&W images and photographers. The requirement for being in this circle was that the photographer shot at least 60% B&W images (I tend to shoot 80%).There are some excellent photographers and friends here. I encourage you to take a look at their work. While I know that bulk circle sharing is a thing of the past or no longer the norm on G+ (which is a shame) I wanted to re-share a collection of truly inspirational people.You wont be disappointed. Re-share if you like their work</david>﻿

It's been a while since I've shared a circle on G+, but this is the circle that I have, almost exclusively, in my feed.These photographers, with the exception of +Frank Doorhof, only really post their own photography. Frank will often post links to his how-to guides and is one of the only guys out there doing in-depth portfolio reviews. I like the over-produced creativity and precision lighting of these artists. +Jingna Zhang, +Renee Robyn , +Scott Detweiler and +Von Wong are my current favorite shooters.I definitely suggest you take the time to check them out or just drop this circle into your list. If you like the circle, feel free to share it.Cheers.﻿

Happy Valentine's Day G+! Here's wishing a happy heart & much love for each of you!

I've been on hiatus from G+ for awhile. I was seriously considering leaving completely. I just can't seem to manage all this social media and keeping in touch with everyone. I've given it the old college try and it doesn't get easier. In fact quite the opposite seems to occur. The more I'm shooting the less time I have to be here or anywhere else for that matter!

I've also received a significant sum of private messages of disapproval of my art. Seems there's a fraction of G+ members who find my work an over exploitation of make-up & retouching an insult to and of women. I was offended, admittedly. I also found myself taking to... more »

I didn't even attempt to fully edit this image in it's original color format. I knew when I had this shot framed inside the viewfinder I would be converting to B&W. There's something very powerful about the absence of color that gives way to the reign of tonality; which in my humble opinion lends to the impact of this image.

Most plusones: 201

This image is haunting to me. It pulls on me... from very many different levels. I was going to discard it but I kept coming back to it, repeatedly. Something beckons from a different space.

My passion will always be beauty photography. I'm more than fascinated by this genre. I adore everything about it! And while there are many different forms of "Beauty" photography, commercial beauty photography will be my preference, always!

There was a time when I was once intimidated by the entire procedure of studio lighting. In fact I was nearly paralyzed with anxiety by the whole process. I went through this love-hate, come here-go away existence with being in a studio. On several occasions I did my best to convince myself I was clever enough that I could achieve the results I was looking for by NOT being in the studio at all! But the truth couldn't be anything further on the opposite... more »

My passion will always be beauty photography. I'm more than fascinated by this genre. I adore everything about it! And while there are many different forms of "Beauty" photography, commercial beauty photography will be my preference, always!

There was a time when I was once intimidated by the entire procedure of studio lighting. In fact I was nearly paralyzed with anxiety by the whole process. I went through this love-hate, come here-go away existence with being in a studio. On several occasions I did my best to convince myself I was clever enough that I could achieve the results I was looking for by NOT being in the studio at all! But the truth couldn't be anything further on the opposite side of my absurd delusion. Commercial Beauty Photography needs to be created in a studio, plain and simple!

Now I look back at that self induced paralytic condition and I chuckle at myself because I've come to realize just how ridiculous those fears were. Creating in the studio is nothing more than sculpting the light, watching what light does, where it lands, what shadows are created and then how to duplicate it on demand! Or better yet, how to change it up and create something entirely new and inspiring! It's rather like painting.. using a model's face for the canvas and the light as your brush! Finding this analogy... applying this with enthusiasm has helped me move beyond paralysis and, opened the door to excitement and further creativity!

I've had the extreme good fortune to have worked out of a friend's studio for the past several years. I've been able to stretch and grow in my craft because of such a blessing. There hasn't been one time when I've stepped into that studio that I haven't carried a sense of reverence and gratitude for the gift presented to me. There is no doubt that I've grown in so many ways as a result of my association with the studio. I've realized several milestones and lest I forget to mention, I've been the recipient of generous amounts of recognition for what I've created. Gratitude barely describes the emotion I've embraced! The studio thing has found a home in my heart despite the earlier years of trepidation and self doubt!

There's a saying, one of which I particularly subscribe to and that is: "One door does not close without another opening!" And with this said, it is with such mixed emotion that I share with you, at the end of May the doors of the studio will be closing. My passion with Beauty Photography will most likely will have to take a back seat, at least for a little while. This also means I will be sharing here even less than as of late. There is a sense of bitter-sweet melancholy swirling around me in these past few days as I watch the calendar days quickly pass by.

While I've kicked around the idea of location shooting, and I've tried to convince myself it will be "good" for my book to be able to show some diversity, I'm not quite mentally or creatively geared up for this; at least not completely! After all, here comes another learning curve! Here comes an entirely different set of "rules", not to mention a different direction with the photoshop learning thingie! (I won't even go into the discussion about "equipment" changes! Sheesh!) And I am a creature of definite habit! Change is not a fun thing for me that is unless I'm the one initiating the change! So there's a part of my rebellious spirit trying to dig my nails in deep and just to hang on! Let me tell you, hanging on can be exhausting! I'm just about ready to loosen the grip and enjoy the slow slide!

So...I guess it's fair to say I'm waiting. But I'm not exactly certain WHAT I'm waiting for! Questions like: "Where do I go from here?" "How do I continue to do the thing I love the most?" "Do I do something all together entirely different?" "Can I feel satisfied by turning my back on this arduous yet tantalizing photographic love affair?"

Sorry it's been a couple of weeks since I've been here. Major changes happening in my life right now. My photography is also on the edge of change. Most of it's good while there's an unknown element that will be a major factor to the direction I'll be heading.

Here's wishing a great weekend for everyone! Though the calendar says it's Spring it's yet to really arrive here in upstate New York. I keep hoping we're one step closer. Fingers are crossed!﻿

For those of you not familiar with me and my "story", I spent a brief period in my younger years modeling. And though my time in the industry wasn't long, it was nevertheless extremely rewarding. I'm pint sized in stature! The fashion industry wasn't going to be in my wheelhouse! But...my face wasn't held hostage to the fashion industry restrictions! Enter the world of "Beauty Modeling!"

It's my love and passion for Beauty Modeling that's led me to where I am today. While I love fashion and fashion photography my lens will always seek out the beauty shot... regardless of the session theme!

With A Little Help From My Friend

For those of you not familiar with me and my "story", I spent a brief period in my younger years modeling. And though my time in the industry wasn't long, it was nevertheless extremely rewarding. I'm pint sized in stature! The fashion industry wasn't going to be in my wheelhouse! But...my face wasn't held hostage to the fashion industry restrictions! Enter the world of "Beauty Modeling!"

It's my love and passion for Beauty Modeling that's led me to where I am today. While I love fashion and fashion photography my lens will always seek out the beauty shot... regardless of the session theme!

In May of this year I'm going to be presenting & facilitating a workshop for models. This workshop means a great deal to me. I so totally believe in giving back; giving from that space of passion. Presenting this event is my way of giving. If I can share something, even if it's the slightest tidbit to just one young model then I'll feel satisfied with my efforts. Perhaps it's only one small piece of information a young model needs in order to propel her career! I'm excited to be hosting and instructing this event! I'm hopeful for a good turn out!

I have a great deal of work to finish before May. And May isn't that far away! I'm doing much of the preparatory work myself. Also, I'm on a tight budget. I need to rely on the many things I can do myself while at the same time push myself and stretch beyond my current abilities. However, I do realize I can't do it all and sometimes I need a little help!

I'm a stubborn person. I'm head strong and insistent. Equally I don't like asking for too much help. In fact asking for help is a difficult task for me. So when I reached out to +Mark Rodriguez for his undeniably supreme graphics advice, well let's just say.. it was hard for me to do. I was humbly thankful when he agreed to "take a peek!"

Originally I sent Mark something completely opposite of the finished piece you see in this post. What I shared with him was a congested, cluttered brochure that was dizzy-ing to say the least! Mark generously shared his thoughts. He revealed to me a direction I hadn't seen. His advice was brilliant and extremely effective. Mark could "see" the clean energy of this event. Me on other hand, well... it became obvious to me my excitement for everything was tossed into one ring! I guess this is why Mark does what he does... and why he does it so well!

I probably shouldn't be putting this ad work out quite yet. The workshop isn't slated for a few months yet. I'm just so proud of his vision and how wonderful this looks! Besides, I've recently gone through a rough couple of months. I've kind of hid myself away on the social media front. So it feels good to be excited about something and to once again share it in this community.

Being able to reach out to Mark was such a positive experience. My faith in the brighter sides of social media has been restored! Not all interactions on social media are negative. "Real" people occupy life hidden behind the screen names and avatars; real people with real hearts!

Thank You Mark for lending something very special to what I hope will be a very successful & special event! I'm extremely grateful for your generosity and support.

There are times in the studio when I wished I had more of a "scene" for my models. I'd love a studio filled with oodles and oodles of props. While I manage pretty well to come up with stuff, it's not always a necessity.

I wanted to see what Jessica could do with just a simple chair. When she sat on the floor I went right down there with her. Something in her pose and the expression on her face immediately put me into a quiet & introspective mood. I literally heard a child's voice inside....

#WordlessOnWednesday is TOMORROW and it's been a long time since I posted the rules to the this theme, and it seems things have gotten a little off course and there a many new people playing along.

So here you go:

1. Post a picture2. Tag it #WordlessOnWednesday (not #wordlessWednesday )3. Not Title4. No Description5. Don't comment or reply to comments on your photo for 24 hours (plussing comments is OK since some of you will have a heart attack if you can't acknowledge your followers the second the comment)

The idea is to let the photo speak for itself, let the viewer interpret it the way they want to.

So if you are up for it, ZIP your lip and play along :)

If you play #WordlessOnWednesday please share this to help get the word out, thanks﻿

Jessica has a face that can handle just about any creative application. Not only can she fashion model but she instinctively knows how to work the camera with her eyes. I immediately recognized a strong sense of diversity in Jessica's looks when I initially viewed Jessica's portfolio.

When Jessica sat down in my makeup chair I wanted to take the angles of her face and accentuate those lines through an extreme makeup application. My goal was to give her a visual platform from which she could express and emote her diverse roles. I was really pleased at what she brought before my lens.

In the couple of months that I've been absent from G+ I've done quite a bit of shooting. While I've loaded many of the images here I've not made all of them public. I've got some catching up to do on the sharing end of things!

Happy Valentine's Day G+! Here's wishing a happy heart & much love for each of you!

I've been on hiatus from G+ for awhile. I was seriously considering leaving completely. I just can't seem to manage all this social media and keeping in touch with everyone. I've given it the old college try and it doesn't get easier. In fact quite the opposite seems to occur. The more I'm shooting the less time I have to be here or anywhere else for that matter!

I've also received a significant sum of private messages of disapproval of my art. Seems there's a fraction of G+ members who find my work an over exploitation of make-up & retouching an insult to and of women. I was offended, admittedly. I also found myself taking to heart seriously some of the criticism and observations. So I decided to step away from the "social media" venue for a little bit, give myself a chance to re-group and re-evaluate!

I don't mind critique and criticism, truly I don't. What I do mind is vicious and insensitive unqualified bashing, especially from sources that are not qualified to be making assessments. Learning to develop a tougher skin is just something I'm going to have to embrace!

Many humble thanks to +Artur J. Heller +Anetta G. Heller and #camerapixo for making room for some of my work in their brand new publication, "Pose &Style". The first issue is glorious. It is filled with so much talent and it goes without saying, amazing images! To be included with such notable creatives is incredible!﻿

Christmas day has passed! The hubbub of the season culminated in one single day. I hope everyone's day was blessed and that each of you shared in a joyous and loving holiday!

I'll be spending the next few days sitting behind my computer and editing. My holiday session with Halina was amazing. Each time I get the opportunity to work with this wonderful young lady magic seems to happen. She is just the sweetest young woman.

(+Rachael Keresey once again brought her magic into the studio as well! I don't think there's much this young woman can't accomplish! She is an amazing makeup artist & hairstylist! Boy am I lucky to have her by my side!)

Halina has agreed to be my model for an upcoming workshop I'll be presenting in the Spring of 2014. The workshop isn't for photographers. Instead I'm designing the workshop for young aspiring models. It's my goal to present an introduction for these young ladies on the art of working with professional photographers. So many of these young women really have a special magic but most of them have no idea how to bring this out in the studio. I'm hoping my years of experience on both sides of the camera will give them a better leg up in their quests! We shall see, won't we? :-)

May each of you enjoy the remainder of this holiday season! Be safe in your travels! Be kind to yourselves and to each other! Most of all, I wish for happiness and joy for you and your loved ones!

The holiday season is a difficult time for me, especially this year. 2013 has been a challenging and demanding span of life . However, I've managed to weather the storms, live through the upheavals and some how gain strength. I learned new meaning to the word "perseverance". I've had to roll up my sleeves, remind myself to stop complaining and just be grateful.... for everything... including the things that have hurt! I have much to be grateful for. I have been given blessings though often I've not initially viewed the events as such.

As 2014 nears I recognize there's bound to be countless challenges awaiting me. I'm looking forward to so much; new directions with my passion, different avenues of expressions and hopefully with a little luck from the modeling gods, many more new wonderful young ladies to work with! I'm expecting, with great anticipation, a wonderfully expansive and prosperous new year! I'm eager to share all of this with each of you.

From my heart to all of yours, may each of you be blessed in this holiday season. May you share in the light of love with your loved ones. May the warm glow of friendships grace your homes. May you find peace & joy in the moments of smiles shared, hugs given and tender kisses! Most of all, may each of you continue to share your beautiful spirits & talents with the world. Our world so very much needs all the splendor of each of your talents and gifts!

Thank you, each of you for including me in your streams this past year! Thank you for taking moments from your days to visit me, leave a comment or a plus for me! Most of all, thank you for your friendship & caring! I wish the best for each of you!

You can't even begin to imagine the difficult time I'm having trying to decide which images to post and share. On top of the already cumbersome choice election process let's toss in ... color or b&w! I don't think I've ever had such trepidation when previously selecting images! Then again never before have I photographed anyone quite like Halina!

Thanks everyone for all the pluses and comments! I'm really glad I'm not boring too many of you.... yet!

I didn't even attempt to fully edit this image in it's original color format. I knew when I had this shot framed inside the viewfinder I would be converting to B&W. There's something very powerful about the absence of color that gives way to the reign of tonality; which in my humble opinion lends to the impact of this image.

Like my session with Halina Kalinowski my session with Samantha Behlog was incredible! So many beautiful images! Thanks for indulging me with these two wonderfully beautiful ladies! So excited to share their results with you!

I love concept imagery especially projects that leave room for expression with multiple mediums. For instance, out of the box makeup applications are among my favorite. I've always enjoyed creating such works of art. From time to time I find myself back in my former role as an MUA. But I can't take credit for this amazing creation. The credit for this belongs to dear +Rachael Keresey ! We collaborated for a couple of months on this concept. When it came time to put it into action Rachael brought her A game! I'm extremely fortunate to have such a talented young woman work with me.

How do I say what I want to share without my words sounding boastful or worse yet, misinterpreted as being egotistical? Perhaps it's just best to put them out there and let the chips fall where they may.

I have this "inner thing" when it comes to working with these young models. I get this unspoken sense and feeling about certain young women; senses such as... "OMG! Get this girl an agent!" I've had this happen a couple of times in the span of my career. In fact two young ladies I've photographed have recently landed international advertising contracts! (Check out the video of the new Cadillac Twin Turbo Commercial on Youtube! The first two young women featured are the young models I had the distinct pleasure of working with.)

(Check out the video of the new Cadillac Twin Turbo Commercial on Youtube! The first two young women featured are the young models I had the distinct pleasure of working with.) I know it's not such a big deal in reality. It is however a validation for me that this internal thingie I experience warrants my utmost attention.

When I see something wonderful come about for some of these young women I'm grateful to have played perhaps a small part in helping them move forward in their careers. When I know some of my work has been a substantial benefit to their books and portfolios... well, I feel great about the thing I do, the thing I love!

When Halina walked in the studio bare faced, ragged jeans, her hair a tossed mess, chipped nails and over all a nervous Nelly that feeling hit me again. I took one look at this young lady and I got that knot in the pit of my gut that screamed unlimited potential. If there ever was a face that deserves to be on the cover of major publication hers is by no doubt a top contender!

I have over 400 images of this young woman. I've edited five. I can't count the number of images I want to edit there's too many of them. I'll have to restrain myself from posting too many of them here and risk boring you to tears! I am on a quest now however. I'm going to find some place to get these images submitted whether they be considered a submission for my work or perhaps some one will take interest in Halina. I just have that inside of me breathless feeling! This young lady is going places if I can get her face in front of the right people!

There are times I forget my sense of "gratitude" for the craft I so adore. I get caught up in my own negative outlook that I miss the gifts that come to me on a daily basis. When I step out from behind that dark shadow of doubt I'm quickly presented with the reminder that "gratitude" comes in many forms. Patricia is a living reminder to me. What a gift she is, not only in the studio but in life as well!

Happy Friday everyone! November is here. Holidays are quickly approaching. I hope each of you can enjoy a peaceful and serene weekend!

In September of 2010 I set out on a photographic journey. I wanted to created a photo-story; a story about forbidden love, the macabre side, the dark mystery of two souls trapped in a supernatural realm. I wanted to create images that would suggestively poke at the side of the psyche where good and bad cross boundaries; where telling the difference between light and dark might be more difficult to discern. I'm not certain I achieved every aspect I had envisioned. However, I accomplished something in this expose because every year since the creating of these images I find myself returning to them. I find myself remembering there's still more to create... perhaps more to this story!

_______________________________________________________________I shared these images a long while back, at a time when I had little audience here on G+. I thought I would share them once again, perhaps for those who are new to my circles. To those who have viewed these previously, I appreciate your indulgence! Thank You ever so much!

Crystal really made the day in the studio an absolute joy! Such a beautiful young woman! I can't say enough positive about her!She sat in my makeup chair for nearly 2 hours without one complaint! She took direction so well once under the studio lights! I wish I would have had several more hours to plan out different themes with her. She has "THAT" look!

Not too shabby for only having been a couple of times in a professional studio with a professional team & professional photographer! Thank you so very much Crystal!

Good Afternoon G+ World! It's wet and dreary here in Central-Upstate New York! According to the weather station our area is under a tornado watch until late this afternoon! The meteorologist said we will experience winds ranging from 25 mph to 45 mph! Yikes!

This is Crystal! At the very last minute the model that was scheduled for this session cancelled. I didn't want to give up my time in the studio so I reached out to friends and friends of friends. Crystal happily volunteered to be the subject of my passion for the day! She sat in my makeup chair and she sat before my camera! She was wonderful to work with, not to mention a very gracious young woman!I'm thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with her!
